The Seer Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Amidst the beliefs of the millions
And sentiments of the land with trillions
A personal ambiguity could cause a religion
A flaw, a shame and a insulting bullion
The sainthood of a mega religion
That preached spiritual Vedas and
The enchanting of radiant mantras
Is now put to a trial all for an individual
If the leader represents the team
Then it's the day for us to grin and brim
For the saint whom we followed for ages
Lost the saintity of the seer with an adage
Kanchi Mutt, the days center of controversy
Is just not another place of deity?
But it is the center of reunion of mind and soul
With the power of God that we have not seen
The so-called sanathana darma took shape
In this very place now put to shame
How I wish being a part of the saga
Of the religion that I cherish as Hinduism
Now find no way to hide amidst this tantrum
Wish these were all part of the dreams
For it hurts my beliefs and proclaims
Proved that no man is an exception
To the worldly pleasures and fame
Had this culture be bestowed upon
To preserve the sanity of the place put to dame
One dropp of poison in the world of milk
Would only splitter the purity of the silk
One wrong thing done by the Master
Would only down the respect to the Mentor
Religion is not a rule, but a way of living
Comes from the simple living and high thinking
Vedas, Puja and ritual is not just a form of devotion
But a sure way to keep the raving mind in attention
Why we need a Mutt to bring the people together
All for the perfection of a Religion it does hold
If the Mutt becomes an ordinary world
Where to look upon for the traditions gold
Though the world goes with the fashions to unfold
The basis human values retains heritages old
If these bottomlines of purity is imperfect
There is no other place to find a better defect
